Mountain Wave Snowboards

If you are a woman who rides, I highly recommend checking out Mountain Wave for your snowboard hopes and dreams. Kate and Dana are both super friendly and knowledgeable about their product lines and will get you set up with what you need. I like that MW has always carried Never Summer and Roxy, two brands that are great for shredders of any level. Whether you are just starting out, or looking to learn about split boarding, these ladies know whats up! Thanks girls!

Quick review raving about Mountain Wave Board Shop. John is a GEM! His passion for snowboarding is apparent. He did fantastic work for a great price in checking out and updating my bindings as well as checking my work on both mine and my wife’s board. Tremendous value and expertise! To have the owner of the shop (25 years) stop vacuuming to take my bindings apart to check and update says everything there is to say about a honorable, passionate, and knowledgeable small businessman!
Credit also to Dana who SAVED my wife’s season (and thereby mine) by finding and fitting a great pair of snowboard boots for her! To find a great pair of boots, save our season, and then have John insist that we have both boards/​bindings checked out and updated was tremendous. We have found our HOME when snowboarding in Breck! Cannot go wrong here!

This was by far the worst experience. We rented a child pull behind bike and it was beyond dangerous during the ride. We almost wrecked many times. DO NOT RENT. Customer service was appalling and non-​existent when we politely told the management. If their customer services was this poor in this one situation I would recommend to never rent anything from this business. EVER.

I went in looking to buy a used bike. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating in helping me pick out a few to try, and fitting them to me. When I picked one out they tuned it up and it’s in great shape!

Super nice and knowledgeable staff. Opens earlier than most other shops for bike rental. Bikes for big adults to small kids. May even overhear a mountain rescue story.

This was the 2^nd time we have used Mountain Wave for Bike Rentals & Vail Pass transportation. They allowed us to bike to Frisco first, then they picked us up for the ride to Vail Pass, for a beautiful ride back to Frisco. One of our favorite activities when in Breck. Their equipment was fine; their price was fair & even matched the computation’s coupon price. Thanks Guys. We will be back.

I rented a snowboard from these guys and I cannot stop raving about the excellent experience from start to finish… the girl that helped me was very thorough… She listened to the problems I had with previous boot rentals and took her time ensuring that the boots fit comfortable, and gave me some tips for getting them to fit better. I loved the set up they gave me for the day and will definitely be back.
Update:
Revisited the place to buy a board… And without fail excellent service!!! The staff is very knowledgeable and teach/​explain the differences in boards etc without making you feel like an idiot for not knowing everything about snowboarding!

Sadly did not receive the same caliber of service as other Unilocalers at this location.
Came in looking for snowboard boots for my girlfriend and I, as well as bindings and a board for myself and I was met with a cold, apathetic «We’re out.»
I understand it’s late in the season to be buying any kind of equipment or apparel, but customer service is never «out of season.»
We went next door and although that shop was also out of what we wanted to purchase, they took the time to actually call other stores in town to see if they had what we were looking for! Don’t spend your money here when you can be appreciated 20 feet away!

Yes, they ARE as nice and accommodating as the other reviews mention. Being competitively priced with great equipment doesn’t hurt either. We rented bikes for five of all ages to do the Vail Pass ride, and had a great time (highly recommend family outing).

Great service! I came here because SWA lost my board bag. I did a rental, and a couple of small purchases, and a waxing when my board showed up. Everything was great. Mostly the gals helped me, and they really know their stuff, esp with setups. Five stars all the way!

Easy setup and even easier return; I was pleased they had higher end snowboards to rent. They didn’t mind that I found a few rocks with the Burton Custom board, and the setup was willing to adjust to my riding style.

We rented and then purchased bikes from them. The staff is exceptionally friendly and very willing to work with people who don’t really know what they’re doing. We had a great experience with them!

Owner and staff are friendly and helpful. Rental bikes were high quality. Vail pass shuttle was well worth the money. Thanks, guys!

Great mountain and road bike rentals. Knowledgeable staff that take the time with you.
Came in and rented a Trek 29ner that was super great. The bike was well tuned and in great shape. The cost was $ 40 for a half day or $ 45 for the full day. Note, the rental period is not 24 hours but per calendar day.
The mechanic took the time to outline the hand drawn map they have for customers. Rode the Sally Barber trail and then off to top of Peak 9. An awesome day.
What did I learn today? Bring a water bottle, they do not sell them.

The service here is top notch. They don’t try to nickel and dime you or sell you on things or trips you don’t need. Their prices were also very competitive; instead of renting bikes on the mountain at the chair lifts, we went with Mountain Wave and we were glad we did! Ask for Andrew!

These guys (and gals) are great. Great customer service, well maintained bikes. Very very good local trail knowledge with ability to customize suggestions for rides based on ability, fitness (or altitude acclimation), and time you have to ride.
Rented hybrids day one for the Vail Pass to Breckenridge shuttle ride. We rode all the way, but they offer a place in Frisco to leave bikes –and either ride bus back to Breck, or can follow shuttle in way out and leave your car. Even offered to bring back Kiddos personal bike if we decided nt to do full ride. (As an aside loved the ride from Frisco to Breck enough of a challenge to get up your heart rate but not unbearable).
Also rented two full suspension mountain bikes on day two. Great suggestions for trails. Swapped out my own pedals, made sure everything dialed in. Afterward, we asked about some work on Kiddos bike, which they is promptly and at very very very reduced cost.
Think we’ve found our home away from home Breckenridge LBS (local bike shop).

Found this shop by looking at reviews here on Unilocal.We had never mountain biked in Breckenridge and did not know any of the trails. This shop had the lowest prices we’ve seen for mountain bike rentals. They have a small parking area in front of the store, and are also right beside the free public parking at F Lot.
They had already rented out their 29-​ers, but that was totally fine for the trails we were on. The staff was awesome! We did not have bike racks with us, so they showed us some trails we could get to from town which were right-​on for our level of biking. We went up CR 405 to the Sallie Barber Mine trail, down to Barney Ford trail, and ended on Moonstone which took us right into town. Again, for these trails, the 26-​ers were perfect since we were riding through trees. The bikes were great, probably cost way more than I could ever afford (the reason I rent). It was a great, hassle free experience. The staff set us right up, and it was a Saturday, which could have worked against our lack of planning.
Can’t beat the prices, the customer service was 5-​star, and it was extremely convenient. Also of note, we did not have kiddos with us, but a family was there the same time we were and the staff gave them routes that catered to the little ones. You really can find something for anyone here.

Took the time to fit my son correctly for snowboard rentals. Great customer service and competitive pricing for gear and rentals. Highly recommend. Recommended by local wasn’t disappointed.

Our family reunion wanted to rent some bikes during a week in the area, and Mountain Wave was recommended to us. We had a huge family ride to Frisco, and they did a great job fixing us up with excellent bikes, fitting us well, handling the details of releases and payment with grace, and rendering amazing all-​around service.
Over the course of the week we rented four more times with them, and each time we feel we got nothing but first-​class treatment, especially from Alex and Katie.
One day I dropped in and booked myself as a single on a Vail Pass ride. As there were three others, I was slotted in and took off on a new bike to meet the van in Frisco. When 1:00 rolled around John, the owner, showed up solo – the threesome had bailed, so he cheerfully gave me the shuttle up the pass in solitary splendor. It was a great experience.

After scouting out prices and material we decided on Mountain Wave. First off they offer their own private lot for renting so you don’t have to look for street parking.
Next they offered some of the best prices. 27 bucks a day for the beginner gear, bindings, and boots. The equipment they offer are good beginner material though. All Burton items and in relatively new condition. I ended up with 9.5 boots and my bindings set at 15 and –6 with regular. After my first day I realized I was more goofy and wanted it at 7 and 7. My board was a 155.
They are very attentive about your shoes, boards, and bindings to ensure a comfortable fit and enjoyable time. I recommend renting your stuff here.
